Switching from Follow Up Boss

  1. Export contacts, deals, and lead sources from Follow Up Boss (CSV or supported path)
  2. Map agents, ISA owners, pipeline stages, and tags in FlowForce
  3. Rebuild open house and speed-to-lead cadences first — highest ROI workflows
  4. Connect Gmail or Outlook for inbox sync on every lead record
  5. Set up parallel dialer queues for ISAs before cutting over agents
  6. Run a short parallel period if brokerage policy requires FUB for routing
  7. Cut over ISA reporting once call and sequence volume validates the switch

Migration overview

From teams that switched

Open houses used to mean a sticky paper sign-in sheet and zero follow-up. With FlowForce, every visitor gets the right listings on Sunday morning and I'm booking three showings a week without lifting a finger.

Common questions

Pricing, migration, and fit — short answers.

Is FlowForce cheaper than Follow Up Boss for ISAs?
Often yes when you factor in dialer and sequencer add-ons. FlowForce Pro includes cadences and parallel dialer; FUB teams frequently pay for partner tools on top of per-seat pricing. See the cost comparison table above.
Can I use both during migration?
Yes. Many brokerages run a short parallel period — FUB for routing while ISAs move sequences and dialer workflows to FlowForce.
Does FlowForce work for solo agents?
Yes. Free for one seat with full CRM; upgrade when you need dialer and higher limits. RE templates include open house follow-up.
How do I switch from Follow Up Boss?
Export contacts and deals via CSV, map fields in FlowForce, rebuild cadences first, then cut over ISAs. See migration steps above and our Follow Up Boss alternative page.
What about IDX and portal partners?
Follow Up Boss has a mature RE partner network. FlowForce handles leads via import and workflows — evaluate which portal integrations are mandatory before switching.
